I have a similar need, but am starting from nothing. Currently our service operations team creates ad hoc sql scripts to fix issues discovered in different areas of different applications. They submit these to the DBA team for execution. Originally it was thought the DBA team would review them and execute. That is simply not the case outside of syntax error checks I cannot review for logic or data changes as I am not familiar with all the products and how the databases work. So my management is wanting to get me out of the middle of this as I am not serving any purpose except I have permissions to execute. I am trying to find out how to implement a process that the service team can create and test their scripts in DEV, then a system that will execute in production once validated/approved. I know it is not a true build and deployment type solution, but I am looking for something that would help automate this without build my own. Any suggestions would be great. / comments

I am interested in writing something for my first article. However, I have the #1 issue, not knowing what to write about. Are there any tricks for getting past that little hurdle? Garry / comments

Great article. I was shocked to see my name at the bottom from one of my blog posts. That was a first. I would love to participate with any activity needed on this project. I have a very diverse environment that has silos of servers that need to be kept in sync relating to configurations. I have started and stopped and started and stopped developing a PowerShell solution, but have not had the time to give it serious attention. This would be a great solution from someone I trust to keep this stuff in sync. Contact me further or let me know how I jump on board this project. Garry B / comments

Ok, so I converted my dmset to a v6 file. I ran it through DataMasker GUI manually to make sure all worked with no errors. That is fine. I just created a PARFILE and am trying to figure out how to execute via PowerShell but the docs appear to only reference command line as DOS. I used to use: Start-Process "C:\Program Files\Red Gate\Data Masker for SQL Server\DataMasker.exe" "D:\DBA\DataMasker\Masking Sets\Elastic_DataMasking_08152018.DMSSet -R -X" -NoNewWindow -Wait But: Start-Process "C:\Program Files\Red Gate\Data Masker for SQL Server 6\DataMaskerCmdLine.exe" "PARFILE=D:\DBA\DataMasker\Masking Sets\v6\PARFILE_Elastic_DataMasking_01312019.txt -R -X" / comments
